USD/CAD Technical Analysis: 1.2885 bear target mission accomplished - 1.2800 figure can be next on the bears' radar


  • USD/CAD main bull trend is on hold since late June. 
  • As anticipated USD/CAD reached 1.2885 (August 28 swing low). While USD/CAD might have a bounce at the current support, the bias remains bearish with the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) crossing below the 100 and 200-period SMA. 
  • If the bears break below 1.2885 support then 1.2855-65 (June 6 low - 200-day SMA) and 1.2800 figure can be next on the radar. However, since USD/CAD is oversold the move down might come next week.
